Harry Potter scarf

[leaette]

Just finished this. I don't think I'll be making any more of these. Weaving in all those ends and doing the fringe was a pain in the bum!!!

Yarn: Caron one pounder: Sunflower and Claret

Stitch: SC weave

Size: 70" long and 7" wide (without fringe). Fringe is around 7.5" long.

 

This will be part of the Harry Potter raffle at our local library.

Lovely! What is sc weave?

[Debbi-a1]

That looks great!

I avoid frindge as much as possible (99% of the time). But it can look great, like on this scarf.

SC weave is you SC and CH1, skip stitch and repeat. and next row, you SC and CH1 in the previous row's CH space. it's super easy. makes a weave look pattern to it. no holes. does not look like SC at all.

really nice !!!! Encourages me to get going on my grandaughters one (lol)

Nice! I have been thinking about using this pattern for my Grandsons using their school colors.. Right now the Granddaughters are taking up my time...

Great scarf & what a wonderful cause!!! Our local libraries have cut their hours drastically. Some of them are only open 8 hrs a week. It's so sad to think of kids not having the access to libraries like we did growing up.

our little local library lost around $18,000 in their budget this year. they haven't cut hours yet though. we go there at least twice a week. i love it there. i know the raffles don't make much money, but it's better than nothing.

Beautiful scarf! I'll have to try the Sc weave myself. I like the edges where the different colors meet.

i think you will really like the stitch. it's my new favorite. it doesn't look like crochet. it's flatter and very sturdy. i just made a clutch purse using the stitch and it's really nice.

 

just remember to chain an even number. but...let me recommend to do a row of regular SC first. if you don't, your chain row will seperate from your work. it's weird.

I agree, great cause and scarf!

This is a beautiful scarf! I'm thinking of making my friends children some scarves for Christmas and this pattern would work perfectly for the boys and girls. Mind if I ask how many stitches you used across each row?

I love your scarf and the colors too thank you for sharing.

A Harry Potter scarf is my next project. I love the way your scarf looks. I'm going to use this stitch for mine. Thank you so much for sharing.

very nice!

[leaette]

angiemae: it's been so long since i've made it, i can't remember. but it's 7" across so just chain until you get to 7". make sure it's an even amount of stitches though if you use the stitch pattern i used.

 

thanks for the compliments everyone. they are doing the raffle right now at the library. it's a great package, all kinds of harry potter stuff in it. i hope it raises a lot of money!
